My LHR-SIN J menu is distinctedly unimpressive, especially the main. Has anyone tried the pork belly with soy and ginger sauce (I remember there was a chicken with the same on a past flight but did not have it) and/or the asparagus tortellini with asparagus sauce (I'm worried about something very creamy). The third option is seared beef fillet which is always a bit of a risk... Thanks!
I had the pork belly and thought it was a generally good choice. The meat was very fragrant and the rice was good. The broccoli and enoki were uninteresting. One thing to note was that as the meat is braised, it retains all of its fat, so anyone who does not like fat in meat (obviously, pork belly is a very fat cup, and often "dried" or crisped to make it more pleasant) will not like this dish and should probably not order it. Basically, if you don't tend to eat the fact in bacon or ham, this is probably not a good choice for you!
I saw the asparagus pasta and it looked quite nice with a bright green sauce. I also saw the beef fillet which looked its usual miserable self.
Among the starters, the tomato mozzarella was actually very good with true heirloom tomatoes some with taste, and the sweetcorn soup was nice too.
For those interested, on the way back from SIN, the starters were king prawns with Israeli couscous (very good), small salad or carrot soup. Mains were grilled snapper with tarragon cream roasted fingerling potatoes and vegetables, chicken breast with pad thai sauce and steamed rice, or mushroom pasta. I had the fish though asked it without sauce (cream sauce on fish doesn't do it for me, wish BA would carry lemon wedges instead of just slices) and it was nice.
